Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 1,786 land-only. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 401: property is assessed at full cash value, so the statutory ratio is 1.0. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
